I have followed the instructions to build a temp bridge and virtual interface for the virtual machine.

the network didnt work then. what have i probably missed out?

any ideas?

here is teh script i used to get the network

script:

#!/bin/bash

#buld a tap adapter

tunctl -t tap1 -u <username>

#set a bridge and named br0

brctl addbr br0

#make eth0 promisc

ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc

#connect the real interface to bridge

brctl addif br0 eth0

#give br0 the existing ip

ifconfig br0 192.168.1.60

# connect the virtual interface to bridge

brctl addif br0 tap1

# activate tap1

ifconfig tap1 up

# set permission

chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun

Can I put the iso image on a USB stick and boot? I want to install it on PCs without cd rom drives

Dear all

I have a proftpd and a m0n0wall

I always get http://pastebin.mandriva.com/578

when i access it outside my network

how can i know if it is my server's fault or my m0n0walls fault?

I have set passive ports at 51000-51999

and firewalls to open ports 51000-51999

and NAT to translate address to my server local address at 192.169.1.3, ports 51000-51999

sure active mode will work but i really want it to work in passive mode

thanks in advance

I am planning to install Mandriva and use it as a server. It is a AMD 3000 dual core with 1 gb of DDR memory. It will run all the LAMP packages, various programming environment and runs samba and webdav so it will be a all purpose server for all the family programming and file storage need. I believe it would not be high loading, so i will keep the windows managers (KDE) I plan to buy a 8 GB drive to run the Mandriva 2008.1 Spring, would it be a good idea?

i am also worried on the serive life of my CF module.

any more measures i can take for this deployment?

will moving swap to a real hardisk helps too ?

how this idea sounds? do i need to take extra care in choosing the software package?

Thanks all for imput.

For the purposes, i need to add that, i would use the celeron rig as server and the PIII laptop for desktop with GUI.

Seems there wont be much problem with the celeron ;)

The PIII, 128 MB system can be used for e.g. XFCE, Windowmaker, FLuxbox, Enlightenment or another lightweight solution.

 

Fnentuning can be done by disabling services, by using the optimum swap and swappiness settings, by using e.g. Abiword instead of OpenOffice and e.g. dillo instead of Firefox. And reduce the eye-candy. ;)

O yes, that should be what i want, i will try light weight GUI mandriva on it, to fit on a 10 gb hdd and 128 mb ram labtop.

(i know DSL/ puppy would work, but i want the linux machines on hand run more or less the same stuff, and that would be mandriva)

is it hard to install XFCE? how do i select from install screens?

I have a celeron class 2ghz , 512mb ram rig and pIII class, 128 laptop

if i do want to run mandriva 2008 on them,

are there anything i can do to fine tune the system, so it dont lag terribly?
